QB16 ceiling; Achilles injury + declining Colts offense; scared on team outlook

Daniel JonesQB

Daniel Jones is hard-capped around QB16 ADP (Jared Goff range) with rushing TD upside but significant downside concerns. Coming off an Achilles injury, he scored five rushing touchdowns last year and had decent fantasy points per dropback, which would place him in the lower QB2 range if healthy all season. However, JJ Zachariason is "scared out of my mind" about the Colts' offensive outlook; the team was first in the league in EPA per drive through week 10 last year but that level of performance is not anticipated to repeat. Loss of Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce's health issues compound the concern, and the Achilles injury recovery risk adds uncertainty to his rushing floor.
